<p>Cloud solutions implement almost the same protection functionality as the on-premises ones. In addition to protection from packet attacks, anti-DDoS cloud service providers often offer services to protect websites from HTTP/HTTPS bot attacks, technical support and help during DDoS attacks.</p>

<h2>THE ADVANTAGES OF (QUALITY) CLOUD SOLUTIONS</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Low cost - monthly subscription fee. There is usually no initial payment and no extra costs for hardware and software</li>
	<li>No need to hire and educate additional staff</li>
	<li>High filtration capacity</li>
	<li>Quick setup (from a few minutes)</li>
	<li>Supplier&rsquo;s expertise in mitigating attacks</li>
	<li>PoC (usually)</li>
	<li>Protection of websites and web applications (at the 7th layer of the OSI model)</li>
</ul>

<h2>LIMITATIONS AND DRAWBACKS</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Increased latency (traffic goes first to the filtering center, then to the client)</li>
	<li>Passing confidential and personal data through the cloud</li>
</ul>

<h2>FOR WHOM</h2>

<p>Cloud Solutions are optimal for SMBs.</p>

<p>Next time, we will talk about the last type of solutions - hybrid.</p>

Types of Anti-DDoS solutions. Cloud solutions

<p>We are finishing the series of posts about the types of Anti-DDoS solutions. Today we will review the last one - hybrid solution.</p>

Explore advantages and limitations of on-premise anti-DDoS services and see if such type of DDoS protection solutions fits you.

<em><span>15 October 2020<span> </span></span></em>

<div class="events-post-page__wrapper">
<p><span><span>This time we discuss the types of DDoS protection solutions.</span></span></p>

<p><span><span>There are three types of solutions:</span></span></p>

<ul>
	<li><span><span>on-premise</span></span></li>
	<li><span><span>cloud</span></span></li>
	<li><span><span>hybrid</span></span></li>
</ul>

<p><span><span>Let us discuss the on-premise today.</span></span></p>

<div class="events-post-page__important"><span><span>This type of solution can be installed either by a customer or by his ISP. Both software and hardware appliances (specialized network devices) are available.</span></span></div>

<h2><span><span>THE ADVANTAGES OF ON-PREMISE SOLUTIONS</span></span></h2>

<ul>
	<li><span><span>Minimal impact on latency thanks to local installation.</span></span></li>
	<li><span><span>The ability to flexibly integrate the solution into the existing infrastructure. You are the absolute master of your filtering system.</span></span></li>
	<li><span><span>The ability to configure protection as you need.</span></span></li>
</ul>

<h2><span><span>LIMITATIONS AND DRAWBACKS</span></span></h2>

<ul>
	<li><span><span>High cost. The cost of ownership of on-premises anti-DDoS solutions is usually higher than of cloud-based ones.</span></span></li>
	<li><span><span>The need to hire or train your own specialists to work with the solution, monitor threats, and respond to incidents. You are the owner and you are responsible for the solution efficiency.</span></span></li>
	<li><span><span>Limited functionality. On-premises solutions typically allow you to protect yourself only from packet flood (L3-L5 layers of the OSI). But they probably won&#39;t help you to protect from HTTP botnets (L7 filtering is required to protect web applications).</span></span></li>
	<li><span><span>Limited bandwidth of the solution itself and available communication channels. If, for example, you have only 40 Gbit/s bandwidth then the local solution will not be able to repel an attack of 50 Gbit/s.</span></span></li>
</ul>

<h2><span><span>FOR WHOM</span></span></h2>

<p><span><span>Telecom operators (cloud and Internet service providers) and datacenters that can afford to have their own Anti-DDoS service and are able to cope with powerful (hundreds of gigabytes) attacks and also offer Anti-DDoS service to their customers.</span></span></p>

<p><span><span>Next time, we&#39;ll talk about cloud and hybrid solutions.</span></span></p>

<h1>Types of Anti-DDoS Solutions. Hybrid Solutions</h1>

<p>We are finishing the series of posts about the types of Anti-DDoS solutions. Today we will review the last one - hybrid solution.</p>

<p>Hybrid solutions consist of an on-premises solution and a subscription of an anti-DDoS cloud solution, which is activated automatically when an attack starts.</p>

<div class="line">Hybrid solutions eliminate the limitations of on-premises solutions regarding the volume of attacks and combine in with the advantages of cloud solutions.</div>

<h2>THE ADVANTAGES OF HYBRID SOLUTIONS</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Reasonable price</li>
	<li>High filtration capacity</li>
	<li>Elastic bandwidth (increases quickly after an attack starts due to the extension of cloud solution)</li>
	<li>Supplier&rsquo;s expertise in mitigating attack and your own attacks filtration</li>
	<li>Protection of websites and web applications (at the 7th layer of the OSI model)</li>
	<li>The ability to flexibly integrate a local solution component into an existing infrastructure</li>
	<li>Configuration and maintenance of a hybrid solution is usually provided by a provider. There is no need to hire additional specialists</li>
</ul>

<h2>LIMITATIONS AND DRAWBACKS</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Increased latency (when you need to extend your solution to the cloud)</li>
	<li>Passing confidential and personal data through the cloud after an attack starts</li>
	<li>High cost (compared to Сloud solutions)</li>
</ul>

<h2>FOR WHOM</h2>

<p>Hybrid solutions are good for Enterprise companies which pay special attention to interacting with customers through online channels. We also recommend using hybrid solutions for medium service-providers.</p>
